WEDDİNG ( ZEMAWEND )

While the cultural accumulation and values created by the peoples in thousands of years are changing rapidly and some of them have been forgotten in the face of modernism; this study tries to reveal how wedding ceremonies, which are an important stage in the life of the young generation, are taking place in today's world.

With the development of the industrial revolution, the empire on  which the sun never set  (England) took  a decisive and impressive role in the cultural field just as in many other areas. The cultural values that societies accumulated over thousands of years resulted in the disappearance of values against cultural hegemony. Weddings, being one of the elements that make the people keep their cultural characteristics alive , have been transformed from their original cultural form into a more universal form and the 19th century Victorian period (wedding invitation, white wedding dress, dance, wedding cake ...) has been a determining factor of this fact.

In spite of the cultural determining of the ruling countries, the effects of assimilation, the effect of geographic differences on the life style and socio-economic differences, Kurdish people, living in a large geographic area, still have a rich culture.
